USD/JPY Holds Near Multi-Decade High as Intervention Fears Mount

USD/JPY consolidates above 161.00 after hitting 161.80, just below the four-decade peak of 161.95 from June. Market participants eye possible intervention by Japanese authorities.

USDJPY

USD/JPY traded near a multi-decade high on Friday, consolidating above the 161.00 level. The pair accelerated higher on Thursday, briefly touching 161.80, just a few ticks under a four-decade peak of 161.95 recorded in June.

Traders remain on alert for potential intervention by Japanese authorities, as the yen continues to weaken despite earlier warnings. The proximity to the June high keeps the risk of official action elevated.

No further technical or fundamental details were provided in the original report. The pair's direction remains tied to intervention speculation and broader dollar strength.
